Teen-gang saga is more intense, violent than the book.

Coppola's recent viewing seems to have been German silent films of the '20s, so he has decided to coat the whole enterprise in a startling Expressionist style, which is very arresting but hardly appropriate to the matter in hand.

A bit too over-stylized to allow for any great involvement, the most interesting part of this is spotting the young actors before they became stars -- most notably nephew-of-the-director Nicolas Cage.

A number of the images in Rumble Fish are more memorable than the film is as a whole, sometimes for the wrong reasons.

Overwrought and overthought.

The action is clotted and murky, and Coppola obviously hasn't bothered to clarify it for the members of his cast, who wander through the film with expressions of winsome, honest befuddlement.

Rumble Fish is like a unisex Sweet 16 gift for children whose favorite hangouts are the pool hall, the Cinématheque Française, and the rings of Saturn.

An offbeat experiment that, while certainly not a brilliant movie, flies far more than it fails.

If Rumble Fish fails as a traditional movie about real people, it is beguiling as an exercise in hallucinatory style.
